Car Rejection Process started!
Well as if my delivery and handover problems weren't enough to take (see separate thread), I am now looking like I will have to reject my car after only 3.5 weeks.
I haven't really written about the two main issues, paint defect on the front o/s wing & o/s bonnet or the o/s drivers door not closing without a hard slam as I thought they would be sorted out by the dealer, but it now turns out that I would need to have part of the car resprayed, and the door issue can't been rectified that easy. So I have spoken today to the DP at my dealers to start the process of rejecting the car. I seems the car shouldn't have left the factory with these issues.
This really isn't what I wanted to experience but with the money I have spent on this car, I shouldn't be having these types of quality issues. I keep you informed on the progress.....
Now Sold: 5dr Pure SD4 Man / Fuji White / Pano Roof / Tech Park / Style 6 Alloys / Privacy Glass / Xenons / Black H'lining / Power Fold Door Mirrors / Power Tailgate / Carpet Mats / Front Fogs.

Two missing pieces of paint approx 3 mm diameter - 1 on the inside of the o/s front wing, next to the door and again on the bonnet.

Oh dear. You must be so annoyed/irritated/fed up. I hope that the process will run smoothly for you, and you will be fast tracked a new car. It seems that QC at JLR needs a sharp boot up the backside.

It's good that so many (like myself) are insisting the problems, however minor, are put right. Hitting JLR in the pocket is the only way they'll improve.
By the way - why do all posts have this random photo of the back of an Evoque?

If you scroll to the bottom of the home page you will see that it means something Dan, they should be different colours
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
